Hordes of Israeli settlers on Tuesday morning forced their way into al-Aqsa Mosque under police guard.
Quds Press said quoting Jerusalem’s Islamic Awqaf Department that the Israeli police allowed 43 settlers to enter al-Aqsa Mosque in the early morning hours and perform Talmudic rituals there.
The news agency said that 83 Jewish students from religious institutes and universities broke into the Mosque during the same period while accompanied by a senior Israeli officer.
Meanwhile about 14 Israeli police officers took part in a separate tour inside the Islamic site.
The Israeli police forces deployed in large numbers in al-Aqsa courtyards and accompanied the settlers until they left the site through al-Silsila Gate.
